Day 65 at sea, March 11, 2011
There is nothing here except a few stalls on the pier. The towns Ho Chi Minh City and Saigon are quite a distance. A number of people took tours, but it is 100 degrees and humid here so we passed. I’m sure it is beautiful here but I understand traffic is crazy. We’ll be in Singapore soon and I am delighted to announce that I will be escorting a tour. I’ll share details on that later, but it involves a trip on the river.
So, I am sitting on a lounge chair enjoying a slight breeze, sipping ice tea and taking the occasional plunge into the cool water. A number of fishing boats have sailed by along with tugs and cargo vessels. It’s quiet here. We have been joined by a grasshopper that’s big enough to toss on the grill and eat for dinner. J Actually he’s about 3-4 inches long. I think one of the servers made him disappear.
Last night we had a wonderful ventriloquist and very funny. Has entertained several presidents at the Kennedy Center and elsewhere. He talked about how as a kid he learned to throw his voice and make his mother crazy. He made his year-old brother talk. He’d get out of school by having the PA system call him to the principle’s office. Some really cute stuff.
This evening we have a lovely lady named Eve. And for dinner we have Vietnam specialty foods.
I’m getting caught up on classes and working on the book today. Sail away is at 5:30 this evening and then we have a day at sea, then Singapore.
I’m off to take another dip in the pool. Hugs, Pat
